Updating the Safeguard Software
For Safeguard product versions prior to D30, HP recommends that the ADDUSER,
DELUSER, and RPASSWRD program object files be deleted when the Safeguard
software is installed on a system. With D30, it is no longer necessary to delete these
programs because they now coordinate requests for their services through the
Safeguard software.
When the Safeguard software is installed for the first time, Expand line handlers need
to be restarted. This action enables the line handlers to open the LUSERID file which is
created by the Safeguard subsystem to manage user alias information and OSS user
attributes. If line handlers are not restarted, any access using an alias will generate
security violations across nodes.
Updating the Safeguard Software
Some current Safeguard capabilities are incompatible with previous product versions
of the Safeguard software, and they might cause operational difficulties during
installation and operation. This is also true for the audit files, which are incompatible
with previous product versions of the Safeguard software. Read this section carefully
before attempting to update your system from a previous Safeguard RVU.
Updating a Previous RVU With the Safeguard Software Running
If the Safeguard software must always be running, the following steps are suggested to
update your system from a previous RVU:
1. Bring all applications to an orderly shutdown, just as you would for a system load.
2. Rename the current Safeguard program files, and then load the new program files
from tape. If necessary, use the old program files to establish Safeguard security
for the new program files.
3. Perform all the steps normally taken to shut down a system.
4. Reset all processors, and perform a system load.
5. Start the Safeguard software normally. As the Safeguard software starts, it
determines that the audit trail file names do not exist, and creates these files, with
the correct size and structure. This is the key step in any changeover.
6. If Safeguard DDL files are used to build a DDL dictionary or to create precompiled
Enform queries, then build a new DDL dictionary and recompile those Enform
queries.
Updating a Previous RVU With the Safeguard Software Stopped
The main points to remember in replacing a previous RVU with the Safeguard software
stopped:
1. Stop the Safeguard software.
2. Restore the new program files.
